We, at Adhyayan, have an audacious goal — to ensure that every child in India goes to a good school and gets a quality education. We work in partnership with the government to drive systemic change that will lead to the realization of this vision. Each person at Adhyayan is committed to this cause. Our field teams live in and travel to remote parts of India so that even last mile schools are served. Our field support team works behind the scenes to bring to light the impact of the extraordinary work being done in these far-off places by ordinary people.
If you are looking for a job that is comfortable, sitting in an air-conditioned office and has regular working hours and great perks — Adhyayan is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are comfortable with ambiguity, passionate about learning, obsessed with equity in education, and adventurous enough to travel to places that people may not even have heard of, you may find working with us rewarding.
We are seeking a dynamic and creative individual to lead Communications at Adhyayan. The ideal candidate will have versatile writing skills tailored to diverse audiences, an exceptional flair for storytelling and the ability to use the power of visuals effectively and with strong aesthetic sensibilities.
This role demands a proactive and creative problem-solver with exceptional communication skills and attention to detail. While primarily remote, the position requires occasional travel within India to gain a deep understanding of Adhyayan’s work on the ground. We work with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups so the ability to work collaboratively with them is a must.
Strategic Communications: Refine the communications and branding strategy, set clear goals and maintain a content calendar for Adhyayan.
Digital Presence: Manage Adhyayan’s digital platforms (social media, website, and newsletters) to enhance reach and engagement.
Branding and Visibility: Coordinate with external vendors and consultants to develop messaging, branding templates, and marketing materials, while identifying new avenues for advocacy of the work we do.
Content Development: Oversee internal and external communications, including annual reports, newsletters, blogs, weekly reports, and presentation decks.
Capacity Building: Facilitate training sessions for team members to enhance their communication skills, including storytelling, content creation, visual communication, and brand alignment. Empower the team to confidently share their work, insights, and achievements across various platforms, ensuring consistency in messaging and tone. Create accessible resources, tools, and templates to help the team contribute effectively to Adhyayan’s communications goals.
A minimum of 3 years experience working in communications and design.
A bachelor’s degree in communications or a related field is preferred.
Date of posting: 6 January, 2025. We are looking to fill the position at the earliest.
